Global steel production is dominated by China, which produces over half of the world's steel. Other major producers include Japan, the United States, India, Russia, South Korea, Germany, Ukraine, Brazil, and Turkey. Steel production is expected to continue growing in developing countries like India, Brazil, and China. The steel industry faces challenges from availability and costs of raw materials like iron ore and coal.

1. GLOBAL STEEL SCENARIO
• Globally Steel is considered as a cyclic industry.
• After last recession, Global Steel Industry has been
consolidating its position and has been marked by many
mergers and acquisitions.
• Appetite for steel by China has been the driving force of the
growth in production/consumption of Steel.
• Further growth in production/consumption is expected to
come from BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China).
• Cost/Availability of raw materials (mainly iron ore & coal) – a
major challenge.

8. IRON MAKING
• For iron making, the essential feature is the blast
furnace, where iron ore is melted (reduced) to
produce pig iron. The furnace is charged from the
top with iron ore, coke and limestone; hot air,
frequently enriched with oxygen, is blown in from
the bottom; and the carbon monoxide produced
from the coke transforms the iron ore into pig iron
containing carbon. The limestone acts as a flux. At
a temperature of 1,600°C the pig iron melts and
collects at the bottom of the furnace, and the
limestone combines with the earth to form slag. The
furnace is tapped (i.e., the pig iron is removed)
periodically, and the pig iron may then be poured
into pigs for later use (e.g., in foundries), or into
ladles where it is transferred, still molten, to the steel-
making plant.

9. Steel making
• Pig iron contains large amounts of carbon as well as
other impurities (mainly sulphur and phosphorus). It must,
therefore, be refined. The carbon content must be
reduced, the impurities oxidized and removed, and the
iron converted into a highly elastic metal which can be
forged and fabricated. This is the purpose of the steel-
making operations. There are three types of steel-making
furnaces: the open-hearth furnace, the basic-oxygen
process converter and the electric arc furnace . Open-
hearth furnaces for the most part have been replaced
by basic-oxygen converters (where steel is made by
blowing air or oxygen into molten iron) and electric arc
furnaces (where steel is made from scrap iron and
sponge-iron pellets).
